In the mixing bowl whip eggs and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

How to make chocolate covered eggs

In the mixing bowl mix cake sponge and condensed milk with spatula or your hands. Do not add all condensed milk at once. The cake mixture should be like wet sand. 

Tip from Marina: at this step you can add orange zest into the cake mixture. 

Scoop the cake mixture and roll into a ball, then into an egg shape. Place shaped eggs onto pan lined with parchment paper. Place into the freezer for 30-40 minutes.
